How often do you have the chance to make a difference in the lives of young people and those in your commun? Our young people need you to mentor them through the Cadet Program!
The 117 th ANG Composite Squadron can use you and the experience and talents you have to offer. They have a long history of providing youth ages 12-21 a safe, positive place to develop leadership skills and strong character, while exploring aviation and STEM careers. The squadron is in need of adults to work with cadets, assisting with planning, coordinating, training and mentorship.
